The Journal believes in precautions: it

Correspondence Of the Puttkd Ne,cs.
WELAKA, FLA, June 10.
Mrs. j. s. North, accompanied by her
daughter Mrs. Woodford, left for the
North ON Wednesday.
Mr. and Mrs. Hotchkin left for Sum-
mer Haven on Monday last, where they
will keep an open house during the
summer for those who wish to enjoy
the oceans balmy breeze, and juicy,
clammy fish at that lovely winter re-
sort.
Mr.. Perry was in town to-day with a
large number of peaches for sale. This
fruit is just now at its prime, and there
was no difficulty in selling any quantity.
A health committee was appointed at
the council NEE ting last night to inspect
the town, and take steps to keep its san
itary condition in perfect order during
the summer months. Welaka is as
clean and healthy as any town in the
State at present, but it is a good thing
to take time by the forelock, and pre-
vent anything which might spoil our
record as the most healthy location on
the st. Johns.
Too much has been said about yellow
fever. 1t has not, as yet, reached Flor
ida, and under the strict quarantine now
in force it will not do so. Our home pa
pers are making too much of a scare out
of it, and as a consequence the Northern
papers report the present condition of
the State Us nothing short of residential.
Establish quarantine and appoint health
and sanitary committees if you will, but
don't tell us that the yellow jack is al
ready within our portals. 1t is not and
not at all likely to bother us if we keep
our premises and our bodies clean.
We have just seen an imposing placar,l
announcing that there will be a grand
celebration at Welaka on the Fourth of
July. Athletic sports, baseball, music
and dancing, lots of fun and hearty
welcome guaranteed to all.
Why do not some people try Welaka
as a health resort? Good boating, fish
ing; bathing, and cool breeze. no fever
or disease of any kind. The Welaka
Land Company say that they will find
room for any number, who want cheap
living and good health.
The Fruitland baseball nine appear in
their new uniforms, for the first. time
on Saturday. when they play Welaka in
the second game of the series. The uni
form is a handsome one-blue. gray and
gold.
